          a huge barrier that spans thousands of miles along China’s historic northern
          border. Created over millennia, the wall began its life as a series of
          smaller walls dating back to the 7th century BCE, built <a href="https://www.thecollector.com/who-built-the-great-wall-of-china-and-why/"><u>as protective barriers against nomadic raids</u></a>.
          In 220 BCE, China’s first Emperor, <a href="https://www.thecollector.com/qin-shi-huangdi-chinese-emperor/"><u>Qin Shi Huang</u></a>,
          masterminded the unification of all of China’s walls into one almighty
          barrier, strengthening and extending the wall to keep out northern invaders.
